Sweet Home, Chicago

MONDAY
**************************************
Harmony : "But Spike, you said you'd take me places. You said we'd go to France and now I can't even leave the lair."
Spike : "Listen to me, you stupid bint. This gem is everything I came back to Sunnydale for, which has witnessed some truly spectacular kickings of my ass. Now, when I have the gem, they'll all die, don't worry. But until then, stay inside."
(The Harsh Light of Day)

"Our Lady of Blessed Exceleration, don't fail me now!"
---Blues Brothers

"Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
And so I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people too
People who, smile at you

And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town

My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz

And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Chicago Cubbies, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town"
---Frank Sinatra

"There's only one thing for Chicago to do, and that's to move to a better neighborhood."
---Herman Fetzer

"It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago-she outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them. She is always a novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time."
---Mark Twain "Life On The Mississippi," 1883



TUESDAY
***********************************************
Xander: "Cool! Come on down and boogie at Xander's hideaway."
Anya (less happy): "Yes, come boogie."
Giles: "Absolutely not! I will not squat in that dank hole."
Spike: "What, it was good enough for me, but you're above it all?"
Giles: "Precisely"

"Come on, oh baba don't you want to go
Oh come on, oh baba don't you want to go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago

Come on, baba don't you want to go
Hida-hey, baba don't you want to go
Back to that same old place
Oh sweet home Chicago

Well one and one is two
Six and two is eight
Come on baba don't you make me late

Hida-hey, baba don't you want to go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago
Come on, baba don't you want to go

Oh come on, baba don't you want to go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago

Six and three is nine
Nine and nine is eighteen
Look there brother baby and you'll see what I've seen

Hida-hey, baba don't you want to go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago

Oh come on, baba don't you want to go-oh-ooh
Come on, baba don't you want to go
Back to that same old place
My sweet home Chicago
--- Blues Brothers

"I am going to St. Petersburg, Florida, tomorrow. Let the worthy citizens of Chicago get their liquor the best they can. I'm sick of the job--it's a thankless one and full of grief. I've been spending the best years of my life as a public benefactor."
---Al Capone

"Hi. My name is Wayne Cambell. I live in Aurora, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago---excellent! I have had plenty of Joe jobs, nothing I would call a career or anything. Let me put it this way: I have an extensive collection of name tags and hairnets. Yes, I still live with my parents, which I admit is both bogus and sad. But I have this awesome cable access show, and I still know how to party. Ahh, the mirth-mobile."
---Wayne's_World



WEDNESDAY
*****************************************
Angel: "Am I a thing worth saving, huh? Am I a righteous man? The world wants me gone!"
Buffy: "What about me? I love you so much... And I tried to make you go away... I killed you and it didn't help. (crying) And I hate it! I hate that it's *so* hard... and that you can hurt me *so* much. I know everything that you did, because you did it to me. Oh, God! I wish that I wished you dead. I don't. (whispers) I can't."
Angel: "Buffy, please. Just this once... let me be strong."
Buffy: "Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day. It's what we have to do. And we can do it together."
(Amends)

Fortune Cookies:

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
---Phil Donahue

"I went out to the insane asylum
And I found my baby out there
I said please come back to me darlin'
What in the world are you doin' here?
Then the little girl raised up her head
Tears was streamin' down from her eyes
And these are the things
That the little girl said

When your love has ceased to be <i> (Lord, have mercy) </i>
There's no other place for me <i> (Mmmm) </i>
If you don't hold me in your arms
(Oh child oh child)
I'd rather be here from now on
Some people have an halfway fare
Without your love I ain't nowhere
Oh I can't eat and I can't sleep
(oh child oh child)
Lord I can't even live in peace
(Mmmm)
Please take me baby for your slave
(Oooh)
And save me from that early grave
Some people have an halfway fare
Without your love I ain't nowhere

And then sorrow struck my heart
Tears began to stream down from my eyes
The only woman that I ever loved in whole my life
Out here in a place in a condition like this
And I began to thinkin' about what my mama told me when I was a little boy
She told me when I couldn't help myself, to get down on my knees and pray
Then I fell down on my knees
And these are the words that I said

Save me save me save me babe,
Save me save me save me dear,
Whoa I don't know just how we made it
But I'm so glad our love is here
But I'm so glad our love is here
But I'm so glad our love is here..."
---Koko Taylor, "Insane Asylum" (duet with Willie Dixon)


"Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it."
---Oprah Winfrey

Carter: "When you do everything you can, sometimes more than you thought you could - you've got to walk away knowing you fought the good fight. You fought the good fight, Lucy. Tomorrow you'll fight another one."
---ER


THURSDAY
*******************************************
Graham: "What's goin' on, man? (Riley shrugs) You gotta get this taken care of immediately. We gotta get you into an operating room."
Riley: "Very convincing. Makes me completely wanna put myself under government control. Please take me where they can make me unconscious and naked."
(Out of My Mind)

"Chuck, I have this condition; the doctors call it Crap Intolerance, I can only take so much BS before I explode."
---Early Edition

Diane Grad: "I love you Billy. Really, I do. But not a day goes by that I don't contemplate your need to psychiatric evaluation."
---Chicago Hope

"Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4"
---Chicago, "25 or 6 to 4"

"Illinois Nazis. I hate Illinois Nazis."
---Blues Brothers
